FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM W Howard V. nary City Manager i J.) Jack Eads Assistant to the City Manager "4TE January 5, 1982 FILE SUBJE:.t Coconut Grove Arts Festival REFERENCES ENCLOSURES It is recommended that the attached proposed resolution providing for the Coconut Grove Arts Festival on February 19, 20 and 21, 1982 be presented to the City Commission for consideration. The 19th annual Coconut Grove Arts Festival is scheduled for February 19, 20 and 21, 1982. The Coconut Grove Association, Inc., supporters of the arts festival, has requested that the location be adjusted this year to situate the festival immediately adjacent downtown Coconut Grove. This change in location cranes as a result of the expressed concerns of festival sponsors for integrity, crowd control and unauthorized ventures, particularly in the show. The proposed relocation has been evaluated by appropriate City offices without objection. The Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce has taken exception tothe relocation of the arts festival and is requesting a Banyan Festival -type event in the Coconut Grove business district to run concurrently. Nldle authorization of festivals is a matter of City Commission policy, consideration must be given for the flow of traffic through Coconut Grove and crowd control. Adequate vehicular traffic flow through Ooconut Grove cannot be maintained if both events are held as requested, and proper crowd control is questionable. The alternatives are: (1) Permit the Coconut Grove Arts Festival to relocate as requested. (2) Require the arts festival to remain in the Coconut Grove business district, the same location as previous years. (3) Permit both the arts festival and the Chamber of Ccmmeroe event to run concurrently. The attached proposed resolution providing for the Coconut Grove Arts Festival has been prepared with the relocation of the festival as requested by the Coconut Grove Association, Inc. .-, 82-26 V, lr- -t t r.: .

W tt,.,..... 01 ,l hart, !. • itiii �.i' !.Y• January 13, 1982 Members of City of Miami Commission Since its inception in 1963, the Coconut Grove Association has been a vital part of Coconut Grove. The annual Coconut Grove Arts Festival has become one of the outstanding events in Miami and Dade County, attracting artists and visitors from every part of the country, and, increasingly, other countries. As one of the most selective shows in the coun- try, it is regarded with respect by participants and purchasers alike, and is a front-runner in encouraging public awareness in good arts, both visual and performing. The importance of the Coconut Grove Arts Festival both to ti the cultural life of the Community and to the tourism indus- try cannot be over -emphasized. Any threat to the integrity of the Festival must be regarded seriously. If the Coconut Grove Association, with full-time planning and effort, makes the decision that the site of the Festival must be altered for reasons of public safety, then I think that decision should be honored. The possibility of any crowd incident, and the attendent unfavorable publicity, is the stated reason for the move; I believe this should be considered carefully. To alloy.* another group to bring other events into the area, particularly at this late date, w.th no evidence of serious planning, could jeopardize a well recognized and important event in our Community.
